Abstract:

This article discusses some aspects of psychomotor development and its disorders, with special emphasis in psychomotor delay. Diagnostic classifications of psychomotor problems, such as DSMIV and CIE 10, are referred, and their advantages and disadvantages are analyzed. The concept of normality -as a synonymous of statistical mean- is problematized in relation of psychomotor disorders, in order to consider its dynamic and variability. The opposition normality/pathology is avoided, while some issues as the socio-cultural are highlighted, allowing rethinking about the universality and relativity of psychomotor development.
